need new car not MT
today my first ever nitro car kyosho pura ten alpha GP 4wd i had it for 4 years
i was doing some wicked jumps it was upgraded from a .12 to .21
with some modificatin then i was crusing down the street about 80-90km
when i hit a pot hole slid out and raped it self around a sign pole
this is wat i broke and it will cost to much to repair
main chassie
front + back gearboxs
upper deck
3 out of the 4 aliminium shocks
drive shaft
of cause the body is totaly stuffed
3 wheels
fuel tank
3 sus. arms
and a servor
i will miss my first nitro car[
] it was lovely
thats why i need a car/buggy/ST just one to have fun
and to bash around.
it dosn't have to be the most expensive but has to be good
all i dont want is a MT or something made by HPI or traxxas
because i cant get parts
help me decide
PS. the engine still works from the car and
dont worry guys i will keep my car i can use it as a paper wait or a
door stop in the garage
THANX'S

The OFNA 1/8 scale buggies - Are solid like tanks.
I have owned - 2 OFNA Hyper 7 PBS's - OFNA Dominator - OFNA 9.5
Still have the 9.5 - Have to say the Hyper 7's were my favorate. Wife said I had to many RC's. before I could get anything else I had to clean otu what I had. I personally like the OFNA stuff. You do now want to get something that will take 3 months to get bits for.
Kyosho is top of the line in the 1/8 scale buggy class as well. I am not a Tamiya fan. I used to have a couple of Tamiyas and did not like them.
You want something the is solid and reliable, I would go with the OFNA.
